1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

beta-propeller domains composed of WD repeats are highly ubiquitous and typically used as multi-site docking platforms to coordinate and integrate the activities of groups of proteins. Here, we have used extensive homology modelling of the WD40-repeat family of seven-bladed beta-propellers coupled with subsequent structural classification and clustering of these models to define subfamilies of beta-propellers with common structural, and probable, functional characteristics. We show that it is possible to assign seven-bladed WD beta-propeller proteins into functionally different groups based on the information gained from homology modelling. We examine general structural diversity within the WD40-repeat family of seven-bladed beta-propellers and demonstrate that seven-bladed beta-propellers composed of WD-repeats are structurally distinct from other seven-bladed beta-propellers. We further provide some insights into the multifunctional diversity of the seven-bladed WD beta-propeller surfaces. This report once again reinforces the importance of structural data and the usefulness of homology models in functional classification.
